Limitations and assumptions

  • The amount is not parsed or converted; historical franc/centime conventions, purchasing power and source authority are not verified.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Consult original archives, authoritative current institutional/legal sources and appropriate historical context for substantive interpretation or rights decisions.
